SUSY Calculations/Experimental Input (2)

• Important Inputs from Existing Accelerator Constraintsu SUSY Search @LEP(final) mWIMP>50 GeV & mh (Lightest Higgs) >114 GeV

• Higgs constraints UPPER limit

u b->sg @CLEO (now doing K) / LEP(final)

u Muon g-2 @ BNL (Anomalous Magnetic Moment) - 1999 data• aµ=(g-2)/2, aµ(exp)-aµ(SM)=4.3 ±1.6 x 10-10, where aµmeasured ±1.3 ppm, theory ±

0.6ppm• Represents 1.6s away from Standard Model prediction (revised down from 2.6s

when SM theoretical calculation found to contain numerical sign error)• Provides strong LOWER LIMIT ON WIMP s for models with µ>0 (see next slide)

NFAC 25 July 2002 Rick Gaitskell

SUSY Calculations/Experimental Input (3)

• Possible Future Influential Accelerator Datau BNL - New announcement coming Tuesday - 2000 data

• 2000 data (4 times existing set): expect an exp. error of 0.73-0.79 ppmIf new result for aµ(exp is same as previous will give 2.6s deviation from SMIf new result is consistent (@1s) with 1999 result then deviation could be in range 0-4s)

u (Novosebirsk e+e-)• Providing experimental rather than theoretical SM inputs to theoretical calc• Cuurent claim takes current 1.6s -> 2s effect

u Future analysis - 2001 data• Expect finish analysis ~end 2002 - reduced systematics vs 2000 since better frequency

choices• Experiement is becoming systematics dominated (little statistical improvement

possible)

u Tevatron (starting to run…)• SUSY discovery less likely• However, strong SUSY loop influence in b->bµµ decay channel G~(tanb)6

— Signal possible if tanb>30

u BBar/Belle (running)• Not likely, CP focus

SUSY Calculations/Experimental Input (4)

u …LHC (Running by 2008)• Consider LHC as backstop for SUSY

• Sensitive to squarks&gluinos <2.5 TeV, m1/2~1 TeV, m0~1.5 TeV

• For discovery at LHC, chosen framework would have to imply mWIMP<500 GeVs

• Wide Range of Models Possible with current constraints

• If µ>0 (if g-2 results holds up, favours lower m1/2, m0 and µ>0) then…u Spin-independent sSI has range 6x10-8 - 2x10-10 pbu Spin-dependent sSD has range 10-5 - 2x10-7 pb

• If µ<0u Possible cancellation in SI interaction sSI ~ 0u Rely on SD interaction >10-8 pb

NFAC 25 July 2002 Rick Gaitskell

Resolving Interpretation of DAMA Signal

• Positive Annual Modulation Signalu No other experiment <2004 able to check annual modu Except for DAMA upgrade 250 kg

• Improved light yield (NaI / PMT)• Lower background (factor ~ few)

u Would like to see revised acquisition strategy• Retain multiple events as control group• Direct Calibration of “signal” bin stability (g sources & LEDs)

• Assuming Scalar WIMPu s ~ A2 Cryogenic Ge

• CDMS I - neutron background limiting, but inconsistent with mod amp.— Require ~factor 3 lower limit to exclude all of 99% CL region at 90%

• Edelweiss already looking inconsistent ann mod. In 2002 look for ~10 kg-day exposure and zeroevents to rule out

• CDMS II - “First Dark” start end 2002

• Assuming ? particle (Not SUSY)u Require NaI target to remove uncertainties

• Anias(Spain) & NaAID(UK) programs aim to use pulse shape discrimination to surpass necessarysensitivity (DAMA do not plan to use PSD)

NFAC 25 July 2002 Rick Gaitskell

Key Points: Detectors, their environment & location

• Probable that we are witnessing the peak of worldwide diversity in DMu Current WIMP detection limit ~0.25 events/kg/day

(no WIMP-like events seen in ~10 kg-days exposure)

• Expect Rapid Progress in 2002-4 (based on assessment of currentprograms that are running, or in construction)

u Will be achieving large exposures with Zero Background Equivalent for ~100 kg-days

u Required scale may prohibit some new technology entering arena, unlesssupported by large engineering effort

• Challenges for next stage …

NFAC 25 July 2002 Rick Gaitskell

Key Points: Detectors, their environment & location (2)

• Greatest Challengesu Construction & Operation of Detector Arrays Underground

• Many of experiments experiencing “delays”

• All Groups would benefit greatly from infrastructure/support of Underground Lab

— Knowledgeable Technical/Engineering Assistance

u Achieving Detector Discrimination Performance (free systematics) (Demanding Background Discrimination >>99%)

u Improvements needed in Screening Facilities• Reduce Internal Radioactivity

• Current scale of typical collaboration has difficulty meeting all screeningrequirements

• Experiments >2005 clearly demand access to systems beyond simple HPGescreening

— Surface/low energy radioactivity screening (Providing Input to NUSL -> Screen Fac Initiative)

u Fabrication of some (internal) construction materials underground• Still being studied by groups

NFAC 25 July 2002 Rick Gaitskell

Key Points: Detectors, their environment & location (3)

• Backgroundsu External Radioactivity Shielding

• Most dedicated (discriminating) WIMP experiments will use “traditional” shieldThis is not seen as a difficulty in larger experiments

— Pb for g‘s— Poly (H) to moderate external (a,n) neutrons (<10 MeV) from rock

• High Energy Neutrons from muons in rock are a concern (see next slide)

Page 16: “Whither WIMPs:” Direct Detection of SUSY Cold Dark Mattergaitskell.brown.edu/physics/talks/0207_NFAC_Review... · • Positive Annual Modulation Signal u No other experiment

NFAC 25 July 2002 Rick Gaitskell

Key Points: Detectors, their environment & location (3)

• Site Depth Requirementu Shallow ~1700 mwe (1 muons/m2/minute) will be satisfactory for compact (non-gas) targets

• Satisfactory for cosmogenic activation• Muons passing through detector array can be vetoed by simple muon veto

(>99% being achieved)• Muons outside muon veto will generate high energy neutrons (50-600 MeV) that cannot be

moderated directly using poly— A number of shielding strategies being developed, but they all involve “traditional”

technology— Additional cost of thick active shield will not dominate total cost - consensus— Without thick shield, HE neutrons events occur just below CDMS II level (1 event/100

kg/day)— Collaborations would like to develop Monte Carlos of full experiments

to ensure that goal of background <1 event/100 kg/year can be met

u Intermediate ~3800 mwe (Factor ~50x reduction in muons/HE neutrons)• Reduced thick shielding cost• Additional comfort factor, general consensus that 1 tonne experiments can function comfortably

wrt to HE neutrons from muons• Depth may be necessary for gas target given much large surface area to shield

u Deep ~6000 mwe (Further factor ~50x reduction in muon/HE neutrons)• Not currently on the road map - consensus “overkill”

Inter-Collaboration / Synergies: Dark Matter

u 0-100 keVu Surface Contamination

• This will require New Screening Strategiesu Studies/proposals underway in US (-> NUSL)

• Los Alamos / Princeton

• New Sources of Backgroundu Not just U / Th / Ku What are the phenomenologies?.. plate-out rates, materials preferences etc

• Low Background Materials Selectionu Database from previous and live experiments

WIMP SUSY Dark Matter Conclusion (1)

• Cosmology: Need for Non-Baryonic Dark Matter (Ω~0.2-0.3)• Current Direct Detection Experiments

u Testing some SUSY modelsu As sensitivity improves - will continue to test more models

• Recent/current accelerator constraints shrinking boundsu Mainly constrained UPPER bound of cross-sectionu g-2 can provide constraint on LOWER bound (for µ>0) if it remains statistically

significant

u DAMA 4s positive signal, is being/will be tested (need to rule out systematics)• in 2002 by CDMS and Edelweiss (both look incompatible at present for s~A2)• Anais(Spain) ~50 kg NaI (Pulse Shape Discrimination) in 2003/4• DAMA 250 kg upgrade (Ann Mod / Low backgrounds / Higher Light Yield)• Axial Vector (Spin Dependent) Quark-WIMP Couplings?

u Gas TPC (Boulby) 1 m3 (u/g in 2001) -> 20 m3 (next phase 2004)• Awaiting data from u/g running• Target mass is a challenge: 1 m3 ~ 30 g Ge equiv. / Axis data difficult to fake

u HPGe• Main focus is DBD, but strong dark matter search component

u Plus a number of other experiments running underground

materials) can be used to study SUSY / Dark Matter physics
